I can be a better me than anyone can.

I was brought up in this part of Detroit that they used to call the ghetto.

If I have someone who believes in me, I can move mountains.

I want an autobiography without revealing any personal information.

It tickles me, my daughter said that to me. She said, "Mommie, why is it that every time they say your name they put your age right behind it?"

The only recording studio was in Motown - it was called Tamla/Motown at that time and we used to audition there because Smokey Robinson was at that studio and Berry Gordy was the president. I remember asking Smokey to listen to my group and he did. For the first couple of years we were just singing background. We used to back up Marvin Gaye; Mary Wells was there then, Marv Johnson, the Marvelettes, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Junior Walker and the All-Stars.

I would like to enjoy my life a little bit more so I can really have more fun, but my work is my fun.
